Yuck, reaves should not be this game. Carolina has too much speed. Should have played Johnny Bro

 

[Black Tank]

Reaves v Bro isn't going to be the difference maker in this game. It's going to be whether lines 1 and 2 score and control possession. If Reaves can lay out his typical 4 or 5 big hits on the Canes Dmen, I'll be satisfied.

 

[McRanger92]

Excited for this one. Will be my 10th game of the year, which is the most I've been to since 2014-2015. What a season its been.

I think tonight is a house money game. If the Rangers win, we are in the drivers seat for the Metro. If they lose, its not a big deal because of the lead we've built on PIT. Im hoping for some intensity on both sides, we all know these teams are on a collision course in the Metro playoffs.

Somehow that fourth line never seems to look any better.

Gah, get Motte and Chytil healthy with no one else getting injured, please.

That lineup will start looking formidable.

Chris Kreider -- Mika Zibanejad -- Frank Vatrano
Artemi Panarin -- Ryan Strome -- Andrew Copp
Alexis Lafreniere -- Filip Chytil -- Kaapo Kakko
Tyler Motte -- Kevin Rooney -- Barclay Goodrow

That's better. Though I'd want to still break up that kid line, but I'd want the kids moving up and not down.

Can anyone fathom the idea of Panarin line being the 3rd line?
WHEN that happens (if within a couple years) we should be smokin'! If its the LAST year of breadman's contract, well then maybe they didn't pan out like they should've.

 

[Leonardo87]

Just heard the news in Brooklyn anybody who lives out there, hope you are safe and sound. We live in a sick world.

 

[FoxysExpensiveNYDigs]

Necas on the 4th line. Has he been that bad this year?

 

[will1066]

Highlander the movie and the TV show were part of my favorites growing up. Expect big time quotes from both the movie and show from me.

Highlander movie was just amazing. Sean Connery, Christopher Lambert, Dude who voices Mr. Krabs now on Spongebob, lol, and music by Queen.

he's been fine. He's had a rough stretch

 

[duhmetreE]

I don't know if I'm preemptively not getting 'up' for this game because of the last time we played them...

Hopefully we return the favor and smesh dem

No we don't. We live in an alright one, at least it very well could be.
There are sickos tho who gotta hang.

Guys come on if you’re not getting up for this one what are we doing here?!? We haven’t fought for first place in game 73 in how long! Go put your jersey on!!!

 

[tomobson]

Must win.

 

[Fitzy]

It's funny to see since it appears on paper as though Carolina is stacked at forward and mediocre on defense but they're the best defensive team in the league.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Really need Kreider to get his 50th tonight!

 

[NYRFANMANI]

Daaamn. Leonardo steppin' up his GDT game. Good job.

Hate that 3rd line.

 

[leetch99]

I dunno...but I think I have Gauthier in with the hope he could stick it to his old club.....it seems always to work in reverse against us . Gauthier in Reaves out .
